Take a deep dive with reporter John A. Torres as he brings you the gripping story of a Brevard County Florida doctor, once beloved, who leaves behind a legacy of death and destruction. A doctor who became so reprehensible, a judge labeled him "A Monster." A doctor who prescribed more Oxycodone than that of the entire state of California. A doctor who became the laughing stock of pharmacists and the prime focus of law enforcement.
